Write the equation for electron capture.
Hint: In electron capture, a particular type of weak force causes a nuclear transition:
1) An electron from the closest energy level interacts with the weak force, after the proton becomes a neutron due to a quark change for some reason;
2) A neutrino is emitted due to the electron interacting with the particular type of weak force;
3) Another electron falls into the empty energy level and so on causing a cascade of electrons falling. One free electron, moving about in space, falls into the outermost empty level. (Incidentally, this cascade of electrons falling creates a characteristic cascade of lines, most likely predominantly in the X-ray portion of the spectrum. This is the fingerprint of electron capture.);
4) The atomic number deceases by one while the mass number remains unchanged.

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
